Hannah was born in South Korea without a windpipe but received a new one made from her own stem cells. She is the youngest patient ever to get the experimental treatment. Doctors announced Tuesday, April 30, 2013 she is recovering and likely will lead a normal life. (AP Photo/OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Jim Carlson)
